RockWorks | Borehole Manager | Striplogs | Consolidate Stratigraphy
This data tool is used to consolidate contiguous stratigraphic intervals with identical formation names into a single interval. This utility is primarily designed for users who are importing data from other programs that store data at uniform intervals. Since RockWorks does not allow stratigraphic formations to repeat within a borehole, this can be a handy method for quick consolidation.
! NOTE Beware that if you have any additional information listed to the right of the keywords, only the first entry of the consolidated interval will be retained.
Menu Options
- Include Options: Use these options to define which records are to be consolidated.
- Current: Choose this option to modify the stratigraphy data for the currently-selected borehole only.
- Enabled Only: Choose this option to modify the stratigraphy data only for the boreholes currently set to a status of "enabled" (shown with check-marks by their names in the main Borehole Manager window).
- All (Enabled & Disabled): Choose this option to modify the stratigraphy data for all boreholes in the current project.
Step-by-Step Summary
- Access the Borehole Manager program tab.
- Enter/import your data into the Borehole Manager. This tool specifically reads stratigraphy data.
- Back up your database using the File | Backup Database option. This offers a means of restoring the original data, should you not be pleased with the results of the consolidation.
- Select the Striplogs | Consolidate Stratigraphy menu option.
- Enter the requested menu settings, described above
- Click the Process button to continue.
RockWorks will search for instances of sequential listings of the same stratigraphy formation names in the selected boreholes, and will merge them into a single interval. The resulting data will be saved in the Stratigraphy table in the database.
